Roman Abramovich is ready to break the bank and splash £30million on in-form Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini in January.

The Belgian has dazzled for David Moyes' side this season and scored his sixth goal of the campaign on Saturday as Everton came from behind to beat Sunderland at Goodison Park.

Now Chelsea’s billionaire owner is keen to bring Fellaini to Stamford Bridge to deputise in midfield.

Hair raising: Chelsea are preparing to prise Marouane Fellaini from Everton for £30million

Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo wants to bring in some new blood in the upcoming window, and sees the big-haired midfielder as an ideal candidate, according to the Sunday People.

Another advantage of signing the 6ft 4in midfielder would be his eligibility to play for the club in the Champions League for the remainder of Chelsea’s campaign.

The 24-year-old is a powerful and versatile individual. He can play in defensive midfield, off a frontman like Fernando Torres, or even lead the line himself.

It would take a big bid to prise Fellaini away from the Toffees, but Chelsea are willing to spend big, having already signed the likes of Eden Hazard, Oscar, Victor Moses, Marko Marin and César Azpilicueta for a combined £79.5million this season alone.
